my 100th DXCC entity
As a follow-up to my last blog post, I've been having a great time working 17m FT8. I'm lucky in that I work from home, so when I'm stuck on a boring conference call, I can also be working DX! In a mere 33 days I've been able to work 100 DXCC entities! I fully take advantage of the color coding system of WSJT-X, that way I can just look for the hot pink to grab new entities, beige for the new CQ zones.
Getting QSL cards from all 100 will be a different story, so I probably won't have a DXCC award for a number of months, but not bad! To date, I have 82 confirmed....
Some Highlights:
- Both Alaska and Hawaii - my last two states needed for 6m WAS were easy on 17m
- V5 (Namibia), 9G (Ghana) - both are tough directions for my antenna
- A9 (Bharain), A4 (Oman) - Longer paths, I don't normally hear that well, both below the noise
- VK, ZL, JA - Taking advantage of Grayline prop. They come in for a short window most days
- V5 (Namibia), 9G (Ghana) - both are tough directions for my antenna
- A9 (Bharain), A4 (Oman) - Longer paths, I don't normally hear that well, both below the noise
- VK, ZL, JA - Taking advantage of Grayline prop. They come in for a short window most days
Misses:
- ER - Moldova
- UN7 - Khazakstan
- ZD7 - St. Helena
- ZD8 - Ascension Island
- 6Y5 - Jamaica
